The name of Desormeaux's ownership  just reminded me of this race, which Collmus called brilliantly, could have been an SNL skit

There were 2  horses in that race at Monmouth whose names were My Wife Knows Everything and The Wife Doesn't Know

And uncannily, in a 10-horse field, they ended up in a stretch duel together.   Collmus's call was hysterically clever.  I save some races that I will always go back to watch, not just Secretariat's Belmont, etc.   Every

Every track needs a passionate race caller who also gets the crowd "going" and Collmus did that very well.

I honestly think that’s the race call that helped Collmus land the job of calling the Kentucky Derby.

Michael Wrona has some good ones such as “staying like a mother -in-law” and “running like a teenage daughter with daddy’s credit card”.

The Aintree Grand National used three race callers when I used to watch the race (Peter Sullevan,Julian Wilson and John Hanmar).They gelled very well together

I was thinking they needed a THIRD horse in this one.   So that the official race results could be this:
